Heavy metal contamination is a significant environmental and health concern. This study develops a sensing material for their detection using the electrospinning technique to encapsulate the disodium salt of EDTA. The optimized active layer is tested using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrospun mats show lead detection in the 10-100 000 μg/L range with a detection limit of 0.031 μg/L.
The contamination by heavy metals (HMs) is a pressing issue, due to their serious impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, the design and the development of a sensing material for their detection has gained a lot of attention. In this study, active layers are produced by the electrospinning technique, using three different polymers and disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Na2-EDTA), known to be a chelating substance for heavy metals. The optimized active layer, in terms of polymer type, degree of encapsulation of the salt, as well as salt suitable content, is obtained and tested using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. The results of the sensing tests indicate the suitability of the developed electrospun layer for environmental monitoring. It is shown the detection of lead in the range of 10-100 000 mu g L-1, with a detection limit of 0.031 mu g L-1. Moreover, the system is proved to be robust against interfering contaminants such as thallium, another relevant heavy metal.
